The discussion is open as to who that writer is!
I think if someone can pull up that episode where the Tailies came to the group, one could actually try to find out more. He/She says that he/she was talking to a woman at that time and asking what's going on and she replied that there are more survivors. Maybe that can be seen somewhere.
Also, Has anyone checked if new people came to the group unnoticed? I (like most people) did not pay much attention to the survivors that are not playing a major role. It should have happened after Janelle lost the diary on day 43.
Interestingly the writer is not a so-called Other and was not on that plane. Big mystery! --aurora glacialis 16:37, 7 March 2006 (PST)
Someone mentioned Desmond after the use of the word 'Brother' in the HG entry. Personally I don't think the whole diary thing needs to really make sense as it's not really part of the actual show, I doubt it will ever even be mentioned on the show, or the person writing in it for that matter. --skks 02:07, 8 March 2006 (PST)
It can't be Desmond since he for sure would have known about the hatch ;-). I am not sure if it makes sense, but it is on the official website of the show. Unless it is another joke like the Shark Logo, it could be authentic. If it ever really makes an appearance in the show is doubtful, but the character writing it may be part of the show. I mean - in the podcasts there was said, that there is not a tight group called "the others" - it is only a perception of whoever is part of one or another group. And I still think, that the survivors and the scientists around Zeke and Ethan are not the only people around. But maybe that diary is just a hint towards things not beeing as they are thought to be... --aurora glacialis 02:35, 8 March 2006 (PST)
Yeah, Desmond theory didn't seem right for me either on a basis of just one word, with the same basis, I don't think the diary is a joke either, I meant that it's more of a 'bonus material' than part of the actual 'mystery', something to give that little bit of an insight and to raise more questions than to answer. --skks 09:07, 8 March 2006 (PST)
...suddenly the writer is a brother or a sister of Henry Gale. Automaticly jumping to the conclusion that the 'brother' in question is Henry Gale is a bit quick. Also, by calling someone your brother doesn't necessarily imply they are in any relation to you. --skks 09:47, 8 March 2006 (PST)
